[08:37:40] <av500> expect a commercial panda to be more lile $350 and more

[08:38:03] <LetoThe2nd> JWoodward: so your best chances to include anything omap4 in some product of yours, is either to buy some drop-in solution like the phytec board, or go large scale, make 1.000.000 +x per anno and have them sell you the silicon.

[14:47:57] <GPSFan> prpplague, I've been having some odd issues with wlan on 2.6.39, I'm trying to come up with a repeatable scenario, but every time I think I've got it, something behaves differently. In short, I can boot up and one time the wlan will work perfectly, another time it will fail. Usually in the same way, but not always. This is NOT the same issue I mentioned re kernel 3.0.

[16:16:35] <prpplague> jayabharath: if this morning is any indication of the rest of the day, i might have to start sipping something a little stronger

[16:17:11] <jayabharath> BTW, folks I'm looking to hire a full-time application engineer (Dallas,TX) in my team @ Texas Instruments to work on the pandaboard project. If you have or know someone who has to have experience with OpenEmbedded/Yocto, Software Integration on Mobile & embedded linux -- give me shout! More info: http://bit.ly/p7VGNx

[16:17:46] <jayabharath> I am sure quite a few of you will be happy to see OE (and not ubuntu) in the lists of skills :)

[18:33:06] <loop> Hi everyone. I'm trying to playback h264 content using the gstreamer omx stuff and I'm having problems. I can get the board booting ok with ubuntu 10.10 using the guide on omappedia but I can't get any hardware decoding to work. Plus I'm having trouble with the omap meta packages. They are refusing to install, what is the current state of the ubuntu 10.10 support?

[19:24:53] <loop> well I got one of the trailers from trailers.apple.com to play in firefox but it was quite obviously doing it with the cpu (top indicated about 60% usage for the process doing the playing and going full screen dropped the framerate to about 0.00001fps)

[19:32:51] <loop> jayabharath: I'm referring to h.264 encoding profiles. It is my understanding the decoders on the panda board do not support all profiles. It was certainly the case when I was working with a blaze board that the encoders would only encode to one particular profile

[19:51:26] <loop> well initial indications aren't good, still getting the same stuff from omx_rpc.c saying it failed to create the RPC client. That is running totem as root from the command line. Seems all totem does internally is invoke gstreamer playbin.

[20:03:47] <RapBoyX_> the headless should work without any change in the bootargs right ?

[20:04:02] <RapBoyX_> @prpplague : but as a general question .. why did you say it should do with 4-bit mode

[20:04:31] <LetoThe2nd> RapBoyX_: on UART you always have a console. if you have X, write to linus, he'll be interested. the question is, did you have the correct login shell or just the busybox. it's really crucial to be precise here.

[20:43:36] <szafar8> no problem _av500, thanks for your time. i looked in the patch source and it tells exactly which line this source code goes to but does not tell anything about which source file should i change for that line

[20:50:15] <szafar8> i was following this link to compile new kernel ( http://elinux.org/Panda_How_to_kernel_2_6_38 but stuck at the step when it says apply patch (dave_patch ) to the vanilla sources. i could not understand which source file (of kernel ) i should change with this patch.

[21:24:53] <szafar8> thanks a lot for your help prpplague. patch worked after check out. do you know any good reference on using git and why do we need this check out ( some simple text explaining theory behind git, branches, checkout, tag)

[21:25:22] <prpplague> szafar8: the wiki page assumes you have some basic knowledge of working with git
